Doctor Who 06690 Bill Potts Collector Figure
- Recreate scenes from Doctor Who
- Fully articulated
- Highly detailed
- 5.5 inch Scale
- For ages 5 years and over
Bill Potts wants her life to be about more than serving chips.
The cleverest person in the University canteen, but never a student, Bill lives with her Foster Mum Maria, and thinks exciting things happen to other people.
But when Bill makes a connection with Student Heather she soon finds herself dragged into a creepy and dangerous world that revolves around a mysterious and inexplicable puddle. There’s something wrong with her reflection…but what?
In searching for the answer, she discovers that the Lecturer who’s taken her under his wing is actually a time travelling alien who’s about to take her on the trip of a lifetime to get to the truth.

August 22nd, 2018 - 3:02amBefore I begin the saga of contacting Amazon, does anyone here know if Amazon automatically reduce the price of pre orders if they were ordered when this was full price. Or is it best to cancel and re order at the new price?
booboo
August 22nd, 2018 - 7:38amthat’s a good question, on pre-orders you always pay the lowest advertised price between when you ordered and despatch, not sure if that’s the same on “temporally out of stock” price though
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
August 21st, 2018 - 8:39pmDoes saying its a collectors item actually add any extra value to it?
The Werewolf
August 21st, 2018 - 9:34pmIt didn’t help some of the Missy figures.

August 21st, 2018 - 4:23pmI got a feeling these will become quite rare, so I bought twelve of them
Anonymous
August 21st, 2018 - 4:26pmTwelve seems a bit extreme
Anonymous
August 21st, 2018 - 4:39pmi tink the b and m one will be more rare this is the standard release
Anonymous
August 21st, 2018 - 4:52pmI doubt it will be rare. You can get the 12th Doctor in hoodie for £10, and thats been out for over a year
Merlin
August 21st, 2018 - 5:15pmBuy twelve more, it might help encourage Amazon to continue the line!
The Silent Silent
August 21st, 2018 - 5:28pmI pre-ordered one ages ago but I might order another just to help with the sales of this Amazon Exclusive Figure !!!!
Anonymous
August 22nd, 2018 - 1:21amI’m in the same position @The Silent Silent, I’m just not sure if i should be saving for any new series 11 merch
Anonymous
August 21st, 2018 - 9:41amSadly, I feel they may have missed the boat with this figure and It’s 6 months too late. £12.96 for one figure that a lot of us now own from the b&m set might make this one struggle which is a real shame because it looks great.
Anonymous
August 21st, 2018 - 9:44amBooboo, are you able to photo this Bill figure next to the b&m one for comparison please?
booboo
August 21st, 2018 - 9:46amif i get time yes i will
booboo
August 21st, 2018 - 9:45amironically its probably this “full price” release that allowed the B&M budget Bill to even happen
Anonymous
August 21st, 2018 - 9:52amMaybe this Bill figure and the 3rd with Tardis were meant to be toys r us exclusives, but when it went into administration Character had to look elsewhere for retailers. Hence the delay in getting them to Amazon?
booboo
August 21st, 2018 - 9:56amcould be, could also have been the 4th “cancelled” figure by underground toys the prototype has been around for ages, the date shows this figure was made in March, a month before that dates on the B&M sets
Anonymous
August 21st, 2018 - 4:43amCan I just ask, as i didnt collect the range, what primeval figures have been used to contribute to this figure? I know the waist down is Abby, but whats the top half of?
Shane Cook
August 21st, 2018 - 5:35amThe whole body neck down is Abby. Her thicker sleeved tank top can be soon around the shoulders, they have just painted it skin colour and painted thinner straps. Only NEW part is Pearl’s head.
Shane Cook
August 21st, 2018 - 5:36amseen not soon, stupid predictive text
Shane Cook
August 21st, 2018 - 5:45amActually the Arms might be from somewhere else, but the torso is definately Abby
TheAgeOfUltron
August 21st, 2018 - 8:29amThe torso (which has been slightly updated to match the straps) and the legs were used on Abby, the arms (I think were from the Astrid figure and I don’t know where the shoulders are from.
P.s They have also changed the torso again as the Abby figure’s head was on a ball joint before but now they have removed the neck as her head and neck are a singular piece.
Dan
August 22nd, 2018 - 9:13amThe entire body except for the head is from Abby, all they’ve done is sand down the sleeves from the upper arm, removed the wrist articulation and, of course, add a new head. While the torso looks to have been altered, the neck line is sculpted and was like that on Abby but the other lines are just painted on.
TheAgeOfUltron
August 22nd, 2018 - 9:24amDan, they aren’t the same forearms, they are slightly more wider and the head and neck on the Abby were not the same piece.
The Living Shadow
August 23rd, 2018 - 3:50pmThe shoes are from the series 2 Abby figure, with the torso and legs bring series 1. The neck has been modified though as, from my memory, Abby’s head articulation came from the top of the neck and not the middle, like Bill!
Andronzani minor
August 21st, 2018 - 12:10amI wish this figure came with a little emojibot (vardy) figure.
Androzani major
August 21st, 2018 - 2:37amWell it doesn’t
TigerMan1995
August 22nd, 2018 - 1:49amIt shouldn’t come with one, that episode was awful! The only episode I hated.
TORCHWOODFAN1
August 22nd, 2018 - 10:31amI preferred Smile to Knock Knock, The Lie of the Land and The Eaters Of Light (and maybe The Pilot because of another waste of an episode for the Daleks no matter how small their appearance)

August 20th, 2018 - 10:57pmIs this the one that went up for pre-order months ago?
Greg
August 20th, 2018 - 10:01pmIs this one taller? The b&m version is ridiculously small.
Anonymous
August 20th, 2018 - 11:04pmThe b and m figure is the same just repainted
Judooning
August 20th, 2018 - 7:48pmLooks good and I’ll still keep my order live, but I think the B&M version looks a little better despite it being a less iconic look for her.
When The Doctor Was Me
August 20th, 2018 - 6:17pmLooks fantastic! Can’t wait now!
Anonymous
August 20th, 2018 - 5:35pmIt says temporarily out of stock. Does that mean that if I buy it I’ll be added to the pre order?
booboo
August 20th, 2018 - 5:40pmyes the stock is on its way to them but i don’t know exact time scale, they have not had any yet. so order away!
GallifreyanKnight
August 20th, 2018 - 4:49pmLooks good, for a kitbash of Primeval figures and a new head.
Dominic
August 20th, 2018 - 3:52pmFinally! Prefer this version of the Bill figure. The outfit choice definitely fits Bill’s personality more. Shame they couldn’t of had her have swappable arms and remove able jacket like the Jo Grant figure.
the ergon
August 20th, 2018 - 4:00pmI,m not keen on those. You can never get the arms to stay in once you take them out. its the same with the ace figure. I,d just prefer a standard variant.
Doctor Stu
August 20th, 2018 - 7:30pmAnd the constant removing and swapping of the arms would eventually break them and you’d end up with armless Bill
Anonymous
August 22nd, 2018 - 1:27amIn that case, just make a custom ‘partially converted’ Cyber-Bill…. Too soon?
prototype dalek
August 20th, 2018 - 3:02pmI now ordered this exactly 6 months ago on the 20th February and is now finally available, looks worth the wait.
Anonymous
August 20th, 2018 - 2:59pmTbh I think the b and m bill has more detail as the use of paint apps really helps the figure such as on her jeans there is a denim wash instead of plain black and the shoes look worn instead of plain
Greg
August 20th, 2018 - 7:42pmI completely agree.
Having said that, I’ll probably still get this variant.
The Outcast
August 20th, 2018 - 2:40pmI might just buy this Bill and skip on the B&M set. Although I do wonder if I’ll be able to, as Amazon.co.uk apparently don’t ship to australia any more, and the australian Amazon doesn’t seem to have it.
Omega63
August 20th, 2018 - 2:36pmI’m going to miss this packaging. A lot. This will probably be the last product with it…
Anonymous
August 20th, 2018 - 3:36pmMaybe it’ll be the same box just with different branding hopefully
the ergon
August 20th, 2018 - 3:57pmNardole would be ideal next although that and future releases would most likely be under the new universal branding.
funkadelicish
August 20th, 2018 - 2:27pmMy head is saying ‘Buy this so that Amazon do more figures’, but I can’t help but feel satisfied enough with the B&M variant for less than half the price. Like, I’m so happy to have a Bill figure, but not sure I need another one as well. A shame with the timing of this release, beaten to it by B&M

August 20th, 2018 - 2:06pmThe boots are a big nitpick for me. I know it could of costa CO a small fortune for new tooling, but still!
Anonymous
August 20th, 2018 - 1:17pmDoes anyone know a release date?
booboo
August 20th, 2018 - 1:22pmstock in on its way can’t be long
the ergon
August 20th, 2018 - 2:13pmWhas the other bill a faked look?. this looks the genuine article.
booboo
August 20th, 2018 - 2:17pmother one?
Anonymous
August 20th, 2018 - 2:18pmErgon, there are two Bill figures released around the same time.
booboo
August 20th, 2018 - 2:20pmThe B&M one is seen briefly in the Pilot
the ergon
August 20th, 2018 - 2:54pmI should have said Are they both from ‘the pilot’, i say this as you mentioned before the top she is wearing didn,t appear right in the Band M set?
booboo
August 20th, 2018 - 3:06pmi meant the line finish on the top seemed a bit off an a bit smudgy on the B&M one, at least it seemed that way on the one we have anyway and quite a few i have seen on ebay
the ergon
August 20th, 2018 - 3:34pmDid she have 2 different tops in the same story? I haven,t seen in a while and the one above is the one i know she wears. Also do we know when these are going to be despatched?

August 20th, 2018 - 1:08pmLooks great!
Anonymous
August 20th, 2018 - 1:00pmIs it worth it to get this figure even if I have the b&m variant
Who Knows
August 20th, 2018 - 1:04pmPurely based on preference
RORY DOCTOR RIVER POND
August 20th, 2018 - 12:43pmI think I prefer this to the b and m one, so won’t try and get that set. This figure looks really good!
WhovianLife
August 20th, 2018 - 11:33amIf you have the images booboo maybe you should post them first to see if Amazon then does post them after lol
booboo
August 20th, 2018 - 11:36amcan’t do that Sorry!
WhovianLife
August 20th, 2018 - 11:40amOh ok no problem 🙂 just thought i’d ask lol
The Outcast
August 19th, 2018 - 9:08amHave you seen the images of the figure yet? If so, are there any new accessories with this version of Bill?
booboo
August 19th, 2018 - 9:31amits just the figure
The Outcast
August 19th, 2018 - 9:34amWell that’s disappointing. If it’s just the figure we’ve already seen though, why haven’t they put up the images yet? Unless they are waiting on a CO press announcement or something…
booboo
August 19th, 2018 - 9:38amIts the same figure everyone’s seen, They have been sent the images its just waiting on them, Amazon just do things at there own pace I suppose.
The Outcast
August 19th, 2018 - 9:45amWell, maybe one day they’ll put them up. One day…
Anonymous
August 18th, 2018 - 11:37pmIs it true that the bill figure is a copy and paste of a prime evil figure ?
Anonymous
August 18th, 2018 - 8:13pmI’ve still got my email saying I ordered this but when I go onto my amazon account it says I have no existing orders. Anyone else had this issue?
BrunoB
August 20th, 2018 - 9:00amI can see mine without a problem. Have you checked in “open orders”?
The Flying Shark
August 18th, 2018 - 7:13pmBooBoo, are you allowed to say yet whether this will be in the traditional collectors’ series packaging or the new logo design?
booboo
August 18th, 2018 - 7:17pmtraditional, same as the last 12th Doctor figures, also supplied with cardboard outer as Missy was.

August 18th, 2018 - 7:52pmohh a cutout makes methink of the star or a cyberman eye
Anonymous
August 18th, 2018 - 6:28pmso is this figure the exact same as the b and m figure just with a differentt shirt ?
booboo
August 18th, 2018 - 6:31pmyes, but in my opinion (the amazon figure) is much better finished
The Outcast
August 18th, 2018 - 8:55amDo you think we’ll get news of this today Booboo? I personally think so.
booboo
August 18th, 2018 - 8:59amI honestly don’t know all we are waiting for is for Amazon to update the listing with the official images and date which they have been sent, ball and time scale entirely in their court, bottom line is we won’t show the images until they do.
The Friend
August 18th, 2018 - 12:00pmI’d chuckle a little bit if some high up Amazon employees were holding this website in similarly big regard, having conversations like: “Hey Dave, shall we put the Bill figure up today?”, “Not yet Steve, we’re waiting for the Doctor who site to update their post with the official images and date which they have been sent, ball and time scale entirely in their court. Bottom line is we won’t show the images until they do!”.
Hehe. Would be amusing.
booboo
August 18th, 2018 - 6:23pmThings like that have probably happened (Although not in this case we haven’t been sent the date !) its bit like cars all waiting at a roundabout seeing who will go first
